Bernie Ward is very critical of Peter Jennings..... |

I would probably agree with his take on the corporate media and Jennings....but not on the day he died. Sorry...but I just think it's bad taste on Bernie's part.

1. It's every bit as crass and tasteless as Horowitz |
|
Yet somehow I doubt Ward will receive the flames that Horowitz did for his piss all over Jennings' grave.

3. boy, that's a really shitty thing to do.... |
|
at least wait a little while. Legitimate criticism is fine, but have the sense of decency to give it some time. I mean, the man just died, show some compassion. Peter Jennings wasn't a bad man or anything. He doesn't deserve that.

I'm not saying deify the man. But to start railing about how he was a neocon tool (Ward) or a liberal evildoer (Horowitz) on the fucking eve of his death is just appallingly tasteless and callous.

6. I get really ashamed at how some people are |
|
I mean in this day and age? It's awful. I couldn't live with myself if I was filled with enough hate where I felt I had to go out and rail against a man on the day of his death. It's not right.

7. Bernie told it like it is ... |
|
Jennings was just another TV journalist who went with the flow; ABC's coverage was no different than the rest of the U.S. networks that covered for Bush in 2000, 2004, 9/11, and the Iraq war.
Bernie didn't dance on Jennings' grave; he soberly and matter-of-factly told it like it is. It was not in bad taste at all, in my opinion. And for the record, I actually liked Jennings (or his persona, at least).
